Art Progress & Spring Check-in 🌿
15 days ago
– Tue, Mar 17, 2026 at 08:40:15 AM
Hello dear Aeternum backers, it's Davide speaking :)
First of all, I’d like to apologize for the lack of updates here on Kickstarter lately. I’ve been actively sharing progress inside our private Facebook group, so this is also a great chance to invite you to join us there if you haven’t yet — it’s the best place to follow my work more closely and interact directly with me and the team.
That said, I’ll do my best to be more consistent with updates here in the coming months.
There are no major changes compared to the last update — I’m working hard every single day to create a deck that truly lives up to your expectations and your incredible support.
Below you’ll find previews of some of the latest cards:
Production Timeline:
We confirm the current estimated delivery window: August / September 2026.
That said, the global situation is unfortunately not helping — especially shipping costs (particularly to the US) have increased significantly. We’re closely monitoring this and hope things will improve in the coming months.
Wishing you all a wonderful start to spring 🌿
Thank you, as always, for your patience and support.

New Year, New Progress - Updated Delivery Estimate ✨
3 months ago
– Wed, Jan 14, 2026 at 07:00:50 AM
Hello dear Aeternum backers,
this is your D.E.C. speaking, and I’m happy to welcome you to our first official update of 2026.
First of all, I wish all of you a happy new year filled with positive energy, creativity, and fulfillment.
As announced in previous updates, the final delivery of the deck will be postponed due to a combination of production slowdowns and—honestly—a necessary reassessment of the amount of work a project of this scale truly requires. For this, I sincerely apologize on behalf of the entire team.
Updated Delivery Estimate
The new estimated delivery window is August / September 2026.
I fully understand that this represents a significant delay. However, this additional time will allow us to deliver a deck that is truly complete in every aspect—artistically, symbolically, and materially. I don’t believe in rushing creativity, and as a perfectionist, I am working every single day to ensure that each of the 79 cards becomes a fully realized work of magic and meaning. This is what you deserve, and this is how I want to honor the trust and support you’ve given us.
From now until final delivery, I commit to monthly updates so you can closely follow our progress.
In the meantime, please enjoy a preview of the cards completed over the past month:
As always, I warmly invite you to join our official private Facebook group, where you can interact directly with me and the team, share thoughts, and follow the project more closely.

Thank you once again for your patience, understanding, and unwavering support.
More soon ✨
Davide and the D.E.C. art Team.
End-of-Year Update: New Art Previews ✨
4 months ago
– Wed, Dec 10, 2025 at 07:43:02 AM
Hello dear Aeternum backers, it's Davide here 👋🏻
This is our final update of this intense year — I hope all of you are closing 2025 in the best way possible ✨
As mentioned in the previous update, production is moving slower than expected, but we’re working every single day to ensure the final deck reaches the highest artistic standard and match even the wildest expectations. Honestly, I’m extremely proud of how the cards are evolving.
New cards preview:
At the same time, I’m also writing the first chapters of Diary of the Errant, the narrative journey of the Errant and his encounter with the Major Arcana. It’s my first time writing something so long and meaningful — a real challenge, but a deeply inspiring one. I’ll share more progress in the coming months.
Delivery Timeline
The originally estimated delivery (January 2026) will definitely be postponed.
Starting now, you will receive monthly updates, and in January I’ll be able to provide a more accurate estimate for the final fulfillment schedule.
Hierophant Pins — Final Check
With Amanda from Lunarity Collective, we are currently doing a final check on all pin shipments sent out over the summer.
If you ordered pins and still haven’t received them, please contact us as soon as possible so we can resolve it immediately.
One week after this update, we will consider the pin fulfillment officially closed.
After that, Lunarity will list the remaining surplus pins on their website. If you’re interested, I highly recommend joining their official Facebook group so you don’t miss the drop.

As always, the best place to interact directly with us and follow the project more closely is our official private Facebook group.

Since the next update will arrive in early 2026, let me take this moment to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year from the entire Dec Art team.
Thank you, truly, for your patience, trust, and incredible support.
See you in the next update! ✨

Art progress update - New cards revealed!
5 months ago
– Wed, Nov 05, 2025 at 08:02:15 AM
Hello dear backers of Aeternum,
this is Davide speaking — I hope you’re all doing well.
First of all, I want to express once again my deepest gratitude to everyone who completed the BackerKit survey on time. Your support and cooperation truly mean the world to us.
There’s still about 14% of backers who haven’t completed their survey yet. We’ll keep it open for a few more weeks to give everyone a final chance — but please remember that once the survey closes, we won’t be able to produce or ship your rewards in 2026.
If you’re having any trouble finding or completing the survey (especially if you used Apple ID on Kickstarter), please contact us immediately so we can help you resolve it.
ART PROGRESS:
Now, about the art production — this is where most of my focus will be in the coming months. Many sketches are already done, and several cards have been fully completed. Luca is also doing a great job in creating the perfect graphic layout for each card. Here’s a preview of some of the latest finished artworks. (images below)
I really would love to hear what do you think of these new cards I'm showing, so don't be shy and leave a comments below!
I also want to be transparent with you: we’ve had some internal issues over the past few months that slowed down progress more than expected. That said, I’m now fully focused and working daily to complete the deck as quickly as possible. While we still aim to meet our projected schedule, some delays may occur. If that happens, please rest assured that we’ll always keep you informed — honesty and transparency are values we’ll never compromise.
Finally, if you haven’t yet, I warmly invite you to join our private Facebook group, where you can see regular updates, share your own posts, and interact directly with me and the Dec Art team.
👉 [Join the group here!]
Thank you again for your patience, support, and trust.
See you in the next update!

Survey Deadline Extended
6 months ago
– Mon, Oct 06, 2025 at 07:18:55 AM
Dear Aeternum backers,
As you know, the final deadline to complete your BackerKit survey was set for October 1st. This step is essential to confirm your pledge, add-ons, shipping details, and pay shipping fees so we can lock production numbers with our partners. It's also your final chance to upgrade your pledge including extra items to your preorder, like many backers already did.
We are happy to share that 85% of you have already completed the survey — thank you so much! 🙏
However, since we don’t want the remaining 15% to miss out on their rewards, we’ve decided to extend the deadline by one more month.
👉 If you haven’t completed your survey yet, please do it as soon as possible. If you encounter any issues with BackerKit, contact us directly and we’ll gladly help.
Joining our official Facebook group is also the best way to stay updated and interact with me and the team.
Meanwhile, the artistic production of the new cards is progressing nonstop, and in the next update I’ll reveal many new illustrations. Don't miss it!
Stay tuned — and thank you again for your continued support!
The Dec-Art Team.
